A study by the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) highlights the challenges and opportunities in unlocking India's renewable energy potential. The study points out that beyond 1,500 GW deployment, critical challenges such as land conflicts, climate risks, and population density may hinder progress towards the net-zero target. Odisha and Madhya Pradesh are identified as potential key players due to their high renewable energy potential and infrastructure. States like Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Ladakh offer significant low-cost solar and wind potential. The report emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to addressing challenges like land access, climate risks, and population density to achieve India's climate goals. Furthermore, the study maps India's renewable energy and green hydrogen potential, highlighting the need for strategic land use and resilient infrastructure. Dr. Arunabha Ghosh, CEO of CEEW, emphasizes the importance of resilience and innovation in overcoming challenges to realize India's renewable energy ambitions. The study aims to guide India towards a low-carbon pathway to prosperity amidst various obstacles.
